Javascript object is not function

Question

I'm new to Javascript and am confused about the error messages I get:

I have the JavaScript Code:

function tile(x,y) {
return ((worldw * y) + x);
}

alert(tile(5,5));

But I get the error message in Chrome that "Object is not a function".

How can I fix this and what does the error message mean?

varworldw = 50; is hopefully a typo. That should be var worldw = 50; — brymck

The code works fine in Chrome and jsfiddle, if I replace worldw with a numeric value. So I do not see an issue based on what you posted.

What is worldw, and can you post more code that reproduces the problem?

Thanks, I realised the problem was just I had stupidly got an array called tile as well and so it was calling that, not the function :/ Thanks anyway :)

Ah, that makes sense... in any case, sometimes you just need another pair of eyes. Glad you got it working!
